Just call me Sherlock Holmes, And does anyone want to buy an old pick-up?
Hi everyone. I haven't been on DU for a little while. Life is strange when it's changin, yes indeed.

Anyway, I posted a whole back that someone was re-arranging my patio furniture while I was gone. I had visions of teenagers scouting my place so they knew when I wasn't there and partying out on my patio. Well, I think I have the mystery solved. I live in a condo community and in the fall the association has all of the air conditioners sealed from the outside. We have wall units. It just so happens that I had my patio furniture set up in such a way that it blocked access to my a/c.

But when I came back after being gone for a while again, the patio furniture was re-arranged again. But no pesky teenagers were involved this time either, I don't believe. The patio furniture was blocking access to the cable box this time and I just noticed that some work had been done there recently.

Do you think this might make for a good episode of Unsolved Mysteries?

And now for my sales pitch. I have a good old pick-up for sale that I've had a lot of work done to recently. If you are in the Cincinnati/tri-state area and are interested, give me a holler. Here's the ad on craigslist.

1. If the poltergeist are after you, be glad all they want to do is rearrange your patio furniture.

2. Good ad!
I bet it moves fast.

"Never got around to buying the boat":rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

As for the mysterious going-on, you could get a game camera and set it up if you really think there's something to discover.:shrug:

I'm glad things are going well for you!:hi:

5. can you haul that baby out here?
I'd take it in a heartbeat, my youngest kid REALLY need something like that. (and if I front him the money there is something better than collateral involved - slavery!)

7. For a plane ticket back home I'll drive it out there
Actually, I guess it might be a costly tire kicking session if I drive that thing out there and you decide you don't like it. :)

10. tell you what - if you don't unload it by next week lets talk
(you sure you want to fly? what about a nice one way rental car? send me a PM for what airport and I will look into it)

I trust you and if it could make it out here that would be a pretty darn good test drive, ya know. If it couldn't make it...wellllll...

8. Thanks ellen. It's good to see you too.
I've been preoccupied lately with a few things. No time for DU for a little while before today.
